Residents of Karatay Hobby Gardens have welcomed the planting season as the weather warms up. Citizens looking to escape the stress of city life and spend time surrounded by nature have begun planting their seedlings in the gardens allocated to them.
The Hobby Gardens established by Karatay Municipality in Saraçoğlu and Karaaslan Üzümcü neighborhoods serve as a breath of fresh air for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Visitors who come to the Hobby Gardens with their families enjoy spending time close to nature while also taking pleasure in the products they grow themselves.
The garden residents experience the joy of both producing and enjoying peaceful moments alone with nature by planting their seedlings and organizing their gardens. The heirloom seeds distributed by Karatay Municipality are also coming back to life in these gardens.
“WORKING WITH THE SOIL IS GOOD FOR US”
Citizens expressed that Karatay Hobby Gardens offer a great opportunity to escape the stress of city life and spend quality time with family, saying: “We come here with our children and grandchildren. Working with the soil not only relaxes us mentally but also provides a wonderful experience for our children. The joy of growing our own products is truly special. We previously received heirloom seeds distributed for free by Karatay Municipality. Now, we have planted the seedlings grown from those seeds in our garden. We are happy to grow natural products in a natural environment. We thank Karatay Mayor Hasan Kılca for this wonderful opportunity.”
